Chapter 91: Between

(Hazel)One week later, Christian is still breathing under the sharp disapproval from Roman. First, for his interference in the wedding. Secondly, for holding back the secret of the century.I rubbed his shoulders, trying to ease the scolding he has been receiving from his father in the past week." Do you regret what you did?" I probed, with the gentleness of a mother trying not to scold her son after the father had done so.He glanced at me and frowned. " Should I?" I exhaled. " Well, since your father is annoyed at your behavior, I figured you might."He rolled his eyes and folded his arms. " That is fine. I can live with that."His lack of remorse irks me. " You mean you are not worried about your father's opinion..."" Mom," he called, tone high with exhaustion. " That is what you adults do. When you are sad...you say the opposite of what you mean. All it should take is a thank you. But he's welcome."I blinked once. Dazed. I called his name like it was a question of its own. "

Chapter 92: The clone in her kitchen

(Hazel)“ I came as soon as I got your message. Why do you need me to play sick?” He asked Hudson in a breath.Our eyes turned to the only doctor in our midst for answers and he returned the question with lines I couldn't have imagined even in my sleep.“ The son of a gun would have been kissing your wife if I hadn't come sooner.”With Dominic around, I felt torn. And then there was Christian.“ Would you like the details?”“ There's a child here. Watch what you say.” I scolded, my voice hanging low like I'm afraid Christian might hear me.He's probably rolling his eyes at me, but that's alright.“ Can we step out?” Roman intervened, but Hudson didn't move. “ I need the cooperation of everyone here. First, you both are going to have an open quarrel.” He said to Roman and I. “ Then, you will go home and act sick. I will be there to treat you.”“ What exactly do you want to achieve with that?” Dominic gruffed, looking up from the drip where his eyes had settled.“ I need an excuse to m

Chapter 93: Between

Third person POV“ Is there a chance you are mistaken?”“ No,” Barn replied to the surprise of everyone. “ Hazel wouldn't be. If she says he was there, then he was.”She turned to him, her quivering lips making way for a “ thank you.”Roman and Hudson shared a look, with suspicion lacing Hudson's eyes. “ Alright,” he said, throwing his hands up as if to discharge Barn. But her voice sliced through with a shuddering breath.“ I was certain it was you. He called my name the way you do.”" No... I was not there. I was never there,” he spoke softly, but it only heightened her worry. It was the same. Sound, gaze, composure, pronounciation— everything that made him Roman was out there, being practiced by a man who lustfully gazed at her and moved to kiss her.Hazel glanced around, her heart palpitating over the roof. She fiddled with her dress, looking away from both men. Hudson's eyes carried a shade of worry, but Roman's was dim with guilt." If you were never there,” came a husky with a

Chapter 94: The pain of being him

(Hazel)“ I know what you want to know, and I'm not up for that question, Hazel. Drop it.” Piper begged, sliding down on the chair to rest his head.Since he mentioned his fear about Hudson, a single thought has clawed its way to my chest and dominated my mind.Hudson might be his son.But I wasn't certain. “ So, that means I'm right. He is your son,” I insisted.“ Yes! And your brother…”The bell tolled in my ears like a breaking dawn. My fingers twitch and jerk. I stir in my seat, waiting. Maybe he will tell me he's just joking. It has to be some kind of joke. Hudson, my brother? How?But he stares at me like he can read my thoughts. Eyes locked on mine, his gaze is even and steady. Yet, with a trace of understanding. That glint. Subtle but there. Waiting for me to make sense of what he had said. Waiting.“ What?!” Eyes wide in disbelief, my lips hang open. “ No…it can't be.”“ Yes, Hazel. Sometimes you have to leave the bee hive alone. Otherwise, you get stung. I didn't want to t

Chapter 95: Road to goodbye

My fingers tightened around the phone. I snapped my neck in the direction of the brothers. “ Hudson is in danger.”Those three words had imprinted on my mind rather too fast. Panic gripped me, my breathing, short and heavy. I turned to Barn for support to get up, but the brothers appeared by my sides in a twinkle.“ Stay!” Dominic commanded. “ I will bring him home.”I heard Roman gulp and turned. My breath caught in my throat, and before I could think my words through, I blurted out, “ You can not leave me.”He turned, his eyes searching mine. “ I need to help. Hudson is the only friend I have got. I can't let him die for my cause. I know they will probably hold him hostage to have me there…”“ Which is why you can not go!” Dominic snapped at him. “ You piece of sh*t, do you think now is the time to play hero?” He scoffed and lumbered away. Both our eyes followed Dominic until the door shut with a click. “ I should do something…”I bite my lower lips, unsure of what to say to keep h

Chapter 96: A day to fear

Never ever dismiss a child's feelings. In that moment, I did not see it as a nightmare anymore. It couldn't be one. “ Barn!” I screamed from Christian's room. My arm is still around him, but my muscles contract uneasily. Yet, a feeling in my guts tells me this is the worst time to let go of the little one.“ Hazel. What is the matter?” He dashed in, asking. He didn't stop. He took a flight to the bedside and critically took in Christian's appearance before taking him out of my arms.He checks his pulse. His fingers artfully placed on the two sides of his face, a little above the brows. It's not the regular check with the hand turn, and the doctor's finger skillfully landing below the wrist.He dipped his hand in Christian's armpit and closed it, waiting a little while.“ He seems fine. What's the matter?” His face relaxed, his attention fixed on the boy.“ He had a nightmare…”“ A nightmare?”“ I know what you are thinking, but this is different. He said Piper had been shot.”His eye

Chapter 97: Goodbyes

Thunder rumbled in the sky, like a furious titan. Every time the lightning struck, I would glanced briefly to catch the images I have been seeing in the storm.Brief.For a moment, it flashed in my sight along with the blinding lights. The next moment, it is gone along with it. But every time I look, I see two giants wrestling in the sky.The next time it came, I felt a pull at the sleeve of my dress, and bends to see Christian keeping his eyes away from the sky. “ Are you okay? We can go in if you want to?” I said, stooped to his level. He shakes his head. “ I want to stay, but that keeps coming with the light.”“ What's that?” I quiz, looking around for a clue of what he means.“ Do you not see them? The fighting men?” He tilted his head, gauging my expression. We look up again, and waited. The thunder didn't come. Neither did the lightening. My attention casually drifts between the screen of my phone and Christian who's next to me. I brush his hair at random to reassure him of m

Chapter 98: Kings cry

Miles stretched before my eyes. But all I could see were spikes, leather jackets and roaring bikes that spread more that a mile. When they got closer, my eyes caught it. The body.Lying on a bike with the face upwards. “ No. No, Piper!” A teary gasp rent from my mouth. I rush down, footsteps falling on my heels, as I sped up to meet them. Outside, Dominic walk up to me with a sullen look.“ Hold yourself together…”Head shaking, legs trembling, I nudged him away and lumbered towards that lone bike in the midst of many more.I met Roman and Hudson blocking my way. “ You should not see him for now, pull yourself together.”“ Together?” I asked Roman. “ Anger burning into my heart. “ Well thank you, but I do not care!”“ This is all your fault. Kelvin, now him. What more will you take from me? What more is still left?”“ You think I shouldn't see him this way? We are talking about the one man that has ever loved me and wanted nothing in return. Get… out… of my way!” I screamed and push

Chapter 99: The shift

I took Hudson's words to heart, but the line I wound up dialing was not Roman's. It was my sister's.“ We should talk,” I said to her and hung up before texting her the location. Dressed up and about to go out, I bumped into Roman at the entrance.“ I came by to drop this. Christian might need it,” he said and dropped the laptop on the table and without any more words, he turned and strutted away.I froze there watching him leave. His attention fixed ahead, without second thoughts. My heart sank. Picking up the fragments of my broken pieces, I trudged towards Barn who's already waiting for me outside. With Roman long gone, I could not entertain the thoughts of calling to say sorry. I got to the location, and met Diana seated, but she's not alone. She has the Nostre couple on her two sides. I pull out a chair, the legs scraping against the floor for a moment. About to settle down, I looked around and met familiar looking men all around. “ I see you brought a crowd,” I commented.She

Chapter 100: Wild obsession

(Diana)" Don't tell me to be calm, Mrs. Nostre!” I yelled, kicked off my heels and shambled up the stairs. I could hear their footsteps, but the uneasiness I felt from the second Hazel walked into the restaurant had been suffocating enough to make me faint twice already. I have never seen her like this. Like never. Calm and collected. Not angry, but seething beneath the placid smile on her face. That smile… it was way more scarier than everything I have ever feared.She didn't flinch when I told her about the move to take over the company she insists is ours by birth. No effort. No struggle. No malice. “ She was just there looking satisfied!” I screamed, cupping my face in frustration. “ How am I to be certain she's not planning anything against me, huh?”“ You saw it too, didn't you?” I turned my attention on the two people who raised me, and has not admitted that they're not my birth parents. “ Say something! You were there. Was that the Hazel you have known for years? Don't tel
